Pa. Boys: Chester does it all for Robeson

Paul Robeson's basketball team was in trouble Tuesday, but Leonard Chester rode to the rescue in a big way.

Chester grabbed 10 rebounds and was 12 for 19 from the free-throw line. His performance offset a 31-point effort by Troy Yancy for the Blue Devils.
